Deer Hunters Successful On Opening Weekend

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources reports hunters took 13 percent more deer on the season’s opening weekend than they did in 2017. The nine-day gun hunt started Saturday and hunters harvested a total of 118-thousand-670 deer. The numbers are up, even though the number of hunters was off by more than 40-thousand this time. D-N-R officials say snow cover help push deer harvest numbers higher. Two hunters were shot, but they survived.
